About

California's historical narrative unfolds vividly across its many locations, offering a glimpse into the past through its preserved sites and living history experiences. In Old Town San Diego, visitors can step back to the 19th century, exploring the original adobe buildings and engaging with costumed interpreters who share stories of early Californian life. Nearby, the Mission San Juan Capistrano stands as a testament to Spain's colonial influence, where the annual return of the swallows each March marks a celebration intertwined with the mission's storied past.
